Here is the link to the BitTorrent copy of the full-XP PATCH file. BitTorrent is a program that distributes files. They are tractable, so illegal stuff need not apply. (You still have to trust where they come from.) http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/torrents/AutoPatcher_XP_Jul2005_full.exe.torrent English July 2005 Full MD5 Hash: 1FC602588A879C22744951A58996B3AA Good luck patching, Rick Glazier ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Shkabara" Thank you for the responses from Scott and the particularly helpful hint from Rónán. Rónán pointed me to Autopatcher which contains a cumulative collection of patches that have been released since the last Service Pack. Why Microsoft can't think to do this is unfortunate. To get Autopatcher, do a search of the web and try a few sites. Some sites are bandwidth impacted, hence the need for a search. Autoloader appears to be updated every month, so look for the latest version (July is the current one).
